2020 was the year that tore up the working practices rulebook for Crew Management, Personnel Logistics, Training and Competence for highly regulated industry. Factors such as knowing exactly where your mobile workforce is, what skills they have, who is available, who may be quarantined and their current vaccination status will be even more important going forward.

With fragmented and remote working practises set to become the norm in 2021, managing volumes of workforce all recording data on shared spreadsheets, network drives and legacy databases just won’t do. Businesses need to be sleek in their approach and streamlined in their strategy in order to survive and thrive.

Onboard Tracker™, the modular web-based Software as a Service (SAAS) platform, transforms a mass of information into a user friendly, blindingly fast, online portal which gives up-to-date and accurate information. The system gives your Operations, Training and Competence

“As a SME in offshore personnel and logistics I was really excited to be shown Onboard Tracker™, and it has not disappointed. From purchasing the system, we went live globally within a month. Logistics are a tough audience with so many cultural and regional differences, but all areas love the system and what it can do for them.
